<font color="aquamarine">My vote goes to The Beatles. They may be bigger than Jesus, but I find them unlistenable.

I find the Cure boring. Tool as well, but there aren't too many vocal Cure haters here, so I'd like to step up to that plate.

I voted for U2, as the rest of the bands on there at least had more than 1 good song.

Plus, the beatles are still bigger than jesus. Fuck you.

U2 in incredibly overrated

Pearl Jam & Tool

Uh, right. Maybe on the Bends and Pablo Honey, but those both sucked, anyway.

<font color="aquamarine">And on about half of OK Computer, too.

And The Bends did not suck. You and Julio are the only people I know who think it does.

well, u2 isn't that great but they have more than 1 good song i think. Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, The Sweetest Thing, Pride (in the name of love), Bullet the Blue Sky, The Fly, Lemon, Stay (far away, so close), and Desire are all pretty good, though probably not great apart from the first two. and Beautiful Day and Elevation aren't too bad.

i went with the obvious i suppose. tool.

u2(these days)

sunny day real estate

flaming lips

some Beatles stuff

eminem

NIN

Pretty girls make graves

eels

ladytron(absolute shit)

peaches(one good song)

bright eyes

AFI

Latter Radiohead

moby

oh, of course:


Tool

U2 was one of the best singles bands of the Eighties, and Achtung Baby is a full-out masterpiece. They do not, however, sound like Radiohead, except maybe on Pablo Honey and a few songs from The Bends.

Those bands are all overrated, but it doesn't mean I don't like some of them.

all of those bands are overrated

no no no, you see... U2 sucks huge horse cock, whereas Radiohead rules. There IS a difference.

Seriously, Steve, Bono is a no-talent hack who makes wonderful little catchy tunes for your typical bubble-gum bebop crowd. The only fucking songs I can stand by them is Hold Me Thrill me Kiss me Kill me and Numb. Radiohead, on the other hand, is art... even Pablo Honey rules.

cure and radiohead are more overfuckingrated than tool. maybe its band with most talented players from those above.

The Beatles: I love the last albuns; the first ones, if they were released now, they were like a boy band record

Radiohead: i only like the first album

U2: My favourite eighties band; nineties they sold out, too pop to me

Tool: excelent band!!! Aenima, one of the best abuns from last decade

Pearl Jam: i was a big PJ in the old grunge days and i still like their work

Nirvana: i never liked them

The Cure; another cool band from the eighties but they should have stopped a long time ago

<font color="aquamarine">I'm sorry, but Pablo Honey sucks balls, Kyp. Well, Creep doesn't, but that's it.

And anyone who says that Bono is a no-talent hack hasn't listened to Achtung Baby or The Unforgettable Fire...two of the finest recordings ever.

Need I also remind you that you like Tool (SNORE)? Having said that, your dislike of U2 is hertofore laughable considering that.

PS: Numb is obnoxious...probably the closest U2 ever got to sounding like Radiohead in their Kid A days. Hold Me Thrill Me, however, was awesome.

Seems to me you never listen War and The Joshua Tree albuns. If you call sunday Bloody Sunday, Seconds and New Year`s Day a "little catchy tunes for your typical bubble-gum bebop crowd", well, you gotta inform me wich radiohead songs are provocative in a political way were this songs speaks about a tragedy that occurs every day in Irland, two diferent religions who can`t live side by side and no one can`t have a solution to that problem. It`s the same thing that`s hapenning in Israel.

i voted for tool, even though i like them more than the cure and pearl jam.
it's just so true what they say about tool fans thinking they're the greatest thing since tits.

i <3 the bends

This is also false. Even if you don't like the fact that the genius known as the edge is right in your face and this song is just funky and runs perfectly listen to Bono's backing singing...

Pablo is awesome. All of it.

I've listened to both U2 albums. I detest them with a passion. I used to like them, and have gradually come to want to gut Bono with a rusty potatoe peeler as time goes by.

So you don't like tool... I'm assuming Floyd is dull to you as well. :rolleyes:

Oi... fuck off people. I <i>have</i> heard these U2 albums. I have heard those 3 songs. New Years Day isn't bad, especially considering it was written by a more current U2.

Ireland is far more provocative, btw, than Israel. The cause of Israel is so much stupider, because it was done with UN support. Ireland began far earlier in our history.

And regardless of their fucking inspiration, they still suck ass. I don't give a damn if you're inspired by the light of god, if you sound like Bono with the Edge's shit-ass guitaring, you don't have anything worth listening to.

U2 damm them!

I chose U2 mostly because of their own shameless self promotion. Upon completion of their last album, Bono issued an open challenge to any band to even try to top their latest effort. Jackasses. Those guys would probably sell crack to nuns to come up with anything remotely kid a-ish. And then there's that whole thing with bono and Paul O'Neil. Please, bono, please lead us to the promised land. It's a beautiful daaaaayyyyyyyyy! Don't let it ah shut up!

The only bands on there that I really love are The Cure and The Beatles. The rest I don't really give a shit about. I voted for Nirvana.

Just because I don't like a band that everyone else does, doesn't mean that I think they are overrated. I mean, I don't particurarly like The Cure, but I know other people do, and The Cure means a lot to them. I don't think I'm arrogant enough to say they're "overrated." They just don't appeal to me. And I most certainly wouldn't call a band overrated based on their hard core fans' opinion of the band. I understand the opinion about a lot of Tool fans, but calling the band itself 'overrated' because of its fans is pretty reactionary in completely the wrong way, in my opinion.

Oh yeah, and I hate The Bends as well. :)

But Like Spinning Plates was totally inspired by One.

Haha, fuck, you quoted that before I deleted it.

I'm not sure why I deleted it though, its still true.

U2 has written some incredible fucking songs. So has Radiohead. But they sound completely different to me.

"Shit-ass guitaring?" That's debatable.

And I do enjoy some Pink Floyd (Pink Floyd>>>>>>>>>>Tool). But let's face it: their lyrics leave a lot to be desired. Subtract the wanky yet excellent guitar playing on Comfortably Numb and you have half-assed lyrics Bono probably could write on a bar napkin while he's drunk off his ass.

Interestingly enough, I've heard Undertow, Aenima, and most of Laturalus, and "Sober" is still my favorite song by them.

I don't think they're bad by any stretch of the imagination, though. I just personally don't care for them. I can listen to Aenima all the way through and appreciate it, and sometimes even really enjoy it, but there's just nothing there that grabs me, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.

I'd be willing to bet that quite the contrary is true. I don't think Tool are the worst band on that list, but their fans (not you, but the majority) are annoying twats who should just stick with King Crimson, Floyd, et al.

your mom is overrated

Tool's appeal is generally limited to just their loyal core of fans, and can't be really regarded as an overrated band. Oh why I do I even bother? Nevermind!

Boston, U2, and Pink Floyd are all pretty terrible bands who, like all "classic" rock acts, have no more than 3/4 decent songs in their entire catalog.

Yet, these bands are praised as if there were no tomorrow. Its really quite sad. Don't even make an attempt to listen to the radio because they'll try to convince you that the Eagles are great, too.

Oh yeah... Tool is horrible as well and sits well with "classic" bands to whom they're often compared.

Tool fans take stupidity to a new level.

And I'm forced to wonder how many people slamming U2 in this thread have heard Achtung Baby all the way through.

Judging a band based on some of their fans is dumb.

Almost as dumb as claiming a band is overrated.

heh heh

How is NIN overrated? They seem to be one of the most hated "bands" ever.

in my opinion..the cure are NOT overrated...they are wonderful!

Nirvana. Variationofsound4u? No?:confused: :p

U2...


i don't understand people who don't like the beatles. every other band out there has been influenced by them in some way. maybe it's because they were the first band i liked... aside from Raffee of course :)
